Effect of chronic administration of magnesium supplement (magnesium glycinate) on male albino wistar rats' intestinal (Ileum) motility, body weight changes, food and water intake.

Recent researches suggests magnesium as an adjuvant medication for COVID 19 patients. Magnesium relaxes skeletal muscles, an effect when prolonged in intestinal smooth muscles can cause severe discomfort such as bloating, vomiting, constipation and nausea. The objectives of this study was to ascertain if magnesium will cause relaxation of the intestinal (ileum) smooth muscles as it does in skeletal muscles.

Cannabis sativa exacerbate testicular function by increased oxidative stress, altered male reproductive hormones, sperm quality/quantity and cellular architecture of the testis.

The illicit use of Cannabis in Nigeria is on the increase within the last 10 years and has been implicated as one of the causes of fertility disorder among young men in Nigeria. Hence, this study aimed to ascertain the reproductive impact of n-hexane extract of Cannabis sativa on male Wistar rats. Fifteen male Wistar rats weighing between 180 and 200 g were assigned into three groups of five animals each.

Ulcerogenic and intestinal motility/transit stimulating actions of nevirapine in albino Wistar rats.

The antiretroviral is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus type 1. This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of nevirapine (NVP) administration on gastric acid secretion, pepsin secretion, mucosal secretion, intestinal motility, and transit using apparently healthy albino Wistar rats. Eighty albino Wistar rats (50-125 g body weight) from the start of the experiment were used for the study.

Chronic administration of the antiretroviral nevirapine increases body weight, food, and water intake in albino Wistar rats.

Background: Nevirapine (NVP) is an antiretroviral medication that prevents human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) cells from multiplying in the blood. This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of chronic administration of NVP on body weight, food, and water intake using apparently healthy albino Wistar rats.

Methods: Twenty adult albino Wistar rats (50-125 g body weight) were used for the study.
